Headlights problems of the 2006 Kia Motor Sedona

Low beam headlight keeps burning out about once every 2 months.

The low-beam headlights (especially the right side) keeps blowing out. I have replaced/changed more than 6 times since owing my van. It keeps blowing; researched for recalls but there aren't none. Looking online I see that this is an issue with all 2006 kia Sedona's. This last time that it happened, I was on my way to wisconsin from massachusetts and my light went out. It was a scary situation because it made the travel experience scary and dangerous. I didn't have my low-beam and was forced to use my high beam. I was pulled over by police because I was using my high beam; I had to explain the situation and told him that I was going to take care of the problem as soon as area mechanics opened (this was at 4:00am). I have 3 kids and this is a hazard. Problem started almost immediately upon purchasing my van with 11k miles.

Headlight burn out. This auto burns out several headlights each year. I have changed about 18 headlight bulbs since purchasing vehicle. All kia Sedona owners have same story and kia USA should find and fix the cause, for the safety of drivers. This is a catastrophe waiting to happen.

The lowbeam headlights keep blowing out. They keep blowing and I have notified the dealership and kia directily and they say there hasn't been a recall. Looking online this is an issue with all 2006 kia Sedona's. The other day both lights blew out and I didn't have any lowbeams to drive home. I have small kids and this is a harazd. I had to use high beams to get home. This started around 60k miles and has been ongoing.

We own a 2006 kia Sedona. We are replacing headlights at least twice a month. This is becoming quite an expense. Once we change one the other blows. We have had it evaluated by a certified mechanic and he see no wiring issues, however they last bulb we took to him looked as if it had some sort of corrosion on it. Either there is water getting in there or there is a contact issue with the bulb and the electrical mechanism. After reading many comments, I see I am not alone. I think kia needs to look into this. We bought this car for its safety features however, this sounds to me like a it could potentially cause and electrical issue which could in turn cause a fire.

We own a 2006 kia Sedona, purchased used. We have had to replace the headlights 3 times in the past year. This is obviously some sort of product defect. This is not the first car we've owned - we have never had to replace headlights that many times in previous vehicles.

Headlamps blowing out we have had to replace the headlamps about every 4-6 weeks and have taken it to the dealer 4 times on the head light problem and they say there is nothing wrong. So why do they keep blowing out. We have had both low beams blow out at the same time and have had to drive with the high beams which is unsafe to on coming traffic let along unsafe for us not to have any low beams. The second problem is a steering wheel vibration that we have has been a problem since we purchased the van. The dealer had it for the 1st month we owned it and still have the problem to this day and we are really feeling unsafe driving it due to the vibration at highway speeds. My wife is terrified to even take it on the highway with our three precious children. So if I could get some feedback on these issues I would greatly appreciate it. After doing some internet research there are alot of the same problems other people are having. I am writing this complaint so someone does not have to die due to headlights blowing out, or the steering falls apart or a part fails due to the vibration.

My 2006 kia Sedona has had both the driver and passenger low beam headlights burn out very prematurely. I have probably replaced 9 individual headlights since I bought the car in 2006. Bulbs only last 4-6 months each. H7 is the replacement bulb that is recommended and I have wasted my money countless times buying the "premium bulbs" only to have them burn out. Took the car to kia dealer and of course they can't find a problem, but looking at multiple blog sites a lot of other people are having the exact same problem.

Haven't had any accident. But have had problems with headlights keep burning out. I have spent so much money buying bulbs. Problems with one of seat belts keeps locking up, and have a scruching noise for years now the dealership say might be suspension.

Have replaced the headlight bulbs on my 2006 kia Sedona three times in the last year. Tonight both went out at once. This is a very common complaint on the web, but kia denies any problem. Bulbs were not touched or allowed to touch anything but a clean glove during installation. Great care was taken both times. This time will check the alternator - seems to be a common source in several blog entries.

The contact owns a 2006 kia Sedona. The contact stated that the headlights failed. The contact had the light bulbs replaced but the failure recurred several times. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection and was advised that the headlights had burned out. The manufacturer was notified and they informed the contact that the warranty was closed and provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 2,000. . . . . Updated 08-24-12 the consumer stated that along with the low beams failure, the turn signal has failed multiple times. The consumer replaced the headlights on his own as well as taking the vehicle to a repair shop to be replaced. The dealer was made aware of this.

The contact owns a 2006 kia Sedona. The headlights on both the passenger and driver's side of the vehicle burn out approximately 2-3 times a year. The vehicle has been at the dealer approximately five times. Sometimes the mechanics replace the bulb, and other times they will refuse. The contact believes that there is an electrical issue with the vehicle. On the last visit to the dealer, they replaced the bolt for free because the vehicle was out of warranty. The contact believes it is a manufacturer defect that should be recalled. The failure mileage was 30,000 and current mileage was 78,000.

On my brand new kia Sedona both headlights and one turn signal quit working. This happened with less than 500 miles on the vehicle. The problem turned out to be a bad headlight control module. This took approximately a week to get repaired. The repair was covered under warranty.
